Reviews
Beware; there will be plenty of these this year, large format glossy books celebrating the 50th anniversary of Elizabeth II's accession to the throne. There has been much talk of celebrations being muted, certainly less extravagant than the Silver Jubilee, but don't believe a word of it. Still, you can't go wrong with Jennie Bond, the BBC's own Royal Correspondent, a job that she has had since 1988. This is neither heavyweight history nor a disposable magazine supplement in hard covers but a souvenir volume that manages to be both interesting and entertaining. Jennie Bond writes well too, with directness, humour and respect for her subject matter that is very much in keeping with her customary delivery to camera outside Buckingham Palace on the evening news.
